Seeing as that he put all the blame of the company, and the Appeal Court said he was wrong, how do you reconcile that with the statement that
"His findings on the cause of the disaster were not challenged"
Quite easily:
When the squabble went to the Privy Council they said
The Royal Commission Report convincingly clears Captain Collins and First Officer Cassin of any suggestion that negligence on their part had in any way contributed to the disaster. That is unchallenged. The judge was able to displace Mr. Chippindale's attribution of the accident to pilot error,
What part of "unchallenged" do you not understand?
Are you able to discriminate between the
cause of the disaster and the
blame for the disaster?
I think not.
